Coaches Testimonials

"Paul Hoover is the best I have seen on shooting in years. I always believed Dick Baumgartner had done more research on shooting than anyone I had encountered...until Paul. Unlike any teacher of shooting I have met, Paul and Pro Shot validates the teaching through video of great shooters of the past and today. Some of Pro Shot's teaching is ground-breaking, even controversial, but the film doesn't lie!”

”We are excited, as we have had the chance to work with the Pro Shot System. I like so much the visual part…that our kids could see the pro level on video; what they need to work on.”

Bob Hurley
Coach of St. Anthony’s
Winner of 27 New Jersey State championships

"After years of watching young kids not make any progress with their jump shot I searched for different teaching methods. That's when I came across Paul Hoover and the Pro Shot System. The Pro Shot System makes sense from the bio-mechanics side, it's comfortable (my players noticed this immediately) and it's a quicker shot. But most important it is a self-correcting method and you will see improvement!”

“Pro Shot's method of shooting is cutting edge. We had Pro shot in here this summer and we are going to have them back this fall. We had students of all ages including many of my players and I saw a hands-on approach that was the best I have seen. Pro Shot was here for four hours and everyone in the house left feeling like they had profited from Paul’s presentation. The FOREST method of shooting is the best that I have seen.”

“Shooting the basketball has evolved, teaching it hasn't. The Pro Shot Shooting System takes players through the key components of how and what the greatest shooters in the game are doing validated with video. As a skill development trainer I found that the system is easy to teach and quickly resonates with all players."

Mike Glennon

"I coach in a situation where we don’t have great athletes, so we needed to do something that would give us every possible advantage to be able to compete with teams who are taller and more athletic. Since we started the Pro Shot system 3 years ago, our FG% has gone from 31%-36%, and we have won almost 2/3 of our games, including twice upsetting the #3 ranked team in the state. If it’s good enough for the pros, it makes sense that it is what we should be teaching our kids as well.”

Pro Shot has analyzed 10,000+ video clips of professional and college players (men and women) shooting and broke down the common components all great shooters have in their shot. Their study encompassed almost every NBA player. It is the only shooting system I am aware of based on actual massive video analysis not a limited life experience or opinion. When Pro Shot makes a statement on shooting and you ask them ‘How do you know that?’ They respond with extensive video supportable evidence (hundreds of player videos). It is the best shooting system available in my opinion!”

Craig Impleman
Former UCLA and Weber State Assistant Coach
Director of the John Wooden Course

“In our 2nd year using Pro Shot we broke the school record for made 3's in a season. The system has provided us a foundation to improve our players’ shots as well as visual evidence from the best players in the world to back up what we are teaching.”

“The Pro Shot System has allowed us to attack shooting with a systematic approach that allows our players to build a better jump shot daily. Our players have seen tremendous improvement in their field goal percentage."

Caleb Nieman
Co-Head Women’s Coach
Kentucky Wesleyan University

“We had the privilege of hosting the Pro Shot Shooting System clinic at our school this past summer (June 2014). We were able to see much improvement in our players' shooting skills in only one session. We are incorporating the Pro Shot Shooting System into our program immediately and feel it is the soundest shooting system we have seen. There is no aspect on shooting that is not covered. Clearly, Pro Shot has done a tremendous amount of study that supports this shooting system.”

“In a matter of minutes I saw great shooting improvement. The PS System is an effective program that will get your players shooting a higher percentage.”

Mike Jarvis

“We are very excited about our players becoming better shooters and working with the Pro Shot System.”

” I am sold on Paul Hoover's Pro Shot system. When I got in the gym and really used it, I quickly saw the benefits of his techniques. When you watch the best shooters in the game, it's amazing how much they model the Pro Shot techniques. While we are in the beginning stages of implementing this system, we are excited for significant improvements. Paul is tremendous at teaching it to you and then the challenge is for you to truly buy-in and continue to teach it to your players!”

Charli Turner Thorne
ASU Head Coach

”I have been teaching others how to improve their shooting for almost fifty years, and I am now convinced that the Pro Shot Shooting System contains the most accurate information available today. Thank you Paul Hoover for pinpointing what good shooting mechanics looks like.”

Chic Hess
Former College Head Coach
BYU Hawaii

”Pro Shot has changed the way I Coach my high school team and the way I do player development. Pro Shot System is easy to for players to understand and you can see improvement in a matter of just 1 or 2 sessions. We use Pro Shot Shooting System daily in our practices and summer workouts. Pro Shot backs up what they teach by using
video as a tool of instruction and showing what the best shooters in the NCAA, WNBA and NBA. Seeing is believing for
most people and Pro Shot has made me a believer!”

“Pro Shot provides a complete, detailed, and progressive system of shooting instruction that in my years in the game is without a doubt the BEST. They provide coaches, players, and parents with everything they need to know about improving shooting ability. I love watching the videos about the different components of becoming a great shooter.”

"The Pro Shot System has given us a direction of how to teach shooting and incorporate it into our basketball program. The Pro Shot gives us sequential order of fundamental steps to shoot correctly. Which has helped our players to become more focused on mechanics, rather than just shooting the basketball. With the Pro Shot System, our program has improved our player mechanics and has increased shooting accuracy."

“Pro Shot has a system that teaches players to become great shooters. They have done the research and validate it with visual proof. This is not a system that takes months or years. You can see improvement immediately. I have personally witnessed it. The Pro Shot System works for any player on any level who is serious about becoming a great shooter.

Dwight Young Asst. Men’s Coach University of the Pacific

”When I first encountered Pro Shot by watching one of their videos, I literally felt like a fog was lifted. So much of what I had always thought, but never vocalized, about shooting was explained thoroughly by Paul Hoover. Busting through the myths of age old and outdated fundamentals has inspired me to spread the gospel of Pro Shot as far and wide as possible. The Hop, Turn, Dip, and Sweep and Sway should all be taught as basic fundamentals at every level of basketball.”

”The Pro Shot Shooting System simplifies many of the nuances of technique. Especially concepts of shooting straight and becoming a better directional shooter. All players who focus on the teachings of the finger & turn will improve their direction. Pro Shot shows you through video the techniques of the world's best players. With physical differences obvious, Pro Shot enables any level of player to emulate the mechanics of great shooters. Great shooters have commonalities, Pro Shot teaches you these skills. Pro Shot system will make you think, analyze and test some of the long time shooting methods. If you have an open mind, you will grasp some of these concepts. I was a 90% FT shooter in HS & college and he got me thinking about how I can self-diagnose my misses and find a great rhythm.”

”The Pro Shot Shooting System is contrarian in thought and brilliant in execution. It strikes at the very core of the rigid shooting pedagogy us coaches have been applying to our players since the beginning of the game of basketball. The Pro Shot Shooting System tested my beliefs as a coach and allowed me to evolve my way of thinking when it comes to shooting the basketball. I am thankful for the Pro Shot System because it has allowed me to become a better coach and teacher for my players.”

Ken Dagostino
Head Men's Basketball Coach
Ave Maria University

"What I like about the Pro Shot System is that it is broken down into simple parts for players to understand, perform, and self-evaluate as they practice. The F-O-R-E-S-T is great tool to remind players what they need to be doing when missing during practice or shooting on their own. It is a system, when in place, that will have all your players shooting the same way, will help players and coaches critique and improve their on a daily basis."

"Paul Hoover and I are on the same race the astronauts had getting to the Moon when it comes to shooting a basketball. But we have discovered that we are really Indiana Jones and have found most of our answers are in the past. I am the historian and Paul is the explorer. The Forest was Hoov's major discovery in his endless quest for shooting mastery. Paul has a PHD in the art of shooting. He has logged more time in front of film than Siskel and Ebert. I sit here in awe of Paul Hoover's knowledge of shooting!!!"

Herb Welling Basketball Coach and Historian Denver, CO

"There is no other shooting system out there that is as research based and player focused. The Pro Shot System is the most efficient way to turn players from “Shooters” to “Makers”. We have used this system for the last three years and have watched our team 3 Point Percentage go from 32%, to 34%, to an incredible 45% this last season (260/580). We use Pro Shot not because of gimmicks, ads, or gadgets. We use Pro Shot Shooting system because simply put – It makes sense and it works!"

"Pro Shot has been absolutely revolutionary within our program here at SHS. I have seen growth in EVERY player within the program, from the kids that had a good shots, to the kids the were very low level shooters. Like most of you I was a bit skeptical about some of the techniques at 1st (simply because it was different) but when I saw video and started practicing and teaching the techniques I instantly became a believer. I previously taught techniques that were taught to me as a player (Elbow in, square the feet, don't dip the ball, etc.) combined with things that I learned over my playing career, and after seeing video after video of great players not doing any of these techniques I realized I was wrong, and it was time to open my mind to change."
